School of Aerospace
The School of Aerospace (AE) is part of the Marine Forces College within the STARFLEET Marine Corps Academy (SFMCA). The SFMCA is the educational annex used by members of the STARFLEET Marine Corps (SFMC). The SFMC is an auxilliary department of STARFLET: The International Star Trek Fan Association, Inc.

AE School instructs its students in all aspects of SFMC Aerospace operations. Students will learn the roles and responsibilities for ground and maintenance crews, how to perform as forward aerospace controllers, and even advanced aerospace combat techniques. The Aerospace School is administered through the Office of the Commandant, STARFLEET Marine Corps Academy by the Aerospace Branch Director. Courses are currently available through the AE-301 level, and all are available online for immediate credit STARFLEET Educational Services under the MOODLE COURSES tab.
